"Inmortal" is a song recorded by Aventura released as the lead single from Romeo Santos' fourth studio album Utopía. It is the first single for the band since their split in 2011. The single debuted at number 95 on the Billboard Hot 100 and charted in numerous Latin American countries.

Background

Romeo Santos teased the song on Instagram on April 1, 2019, and promised that it would release that night. However, it turned out to be an April Fools' Day prank, and this angered many fans. Santos apologized to his fans and assured that the single would not be released; however, the following day, Santos officially announced the single and the album, Utopía, explaining that the joke was about the song's release date and not the song itself. "Inmortal" eventually released on April 5, 2019.{{cite magazine |last1=Roiz |first1=Jessica |title=Romeo Santos Announces New Aventura Single 'Inmortal' -- No Joke |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/latin/8505539/romeo-santos-aventura-single-inmortal-watch |magazine=Billboard |access-date=June 22, 2019}}
